PINKSTON'S GREAT FLOATS
Are Being Made Ready Much In
terest Attaches to the Election
of a King of the Carnival.
Balloting for the King of the Carnival
will commence in a few days. Ihe jxtlls
will, in all probability be opened on Mon
day n«*t .md from that time on the con
test IM calculated to be lively.
Aa the voting in not limited to the men
and the only qualification for tach voter is
that he must have 5 cents with which to
pay for the ticket, added to the fact that
for the first time in a popular election in
ibis city the voters will have an opportuni
ty to indulge openly in their favorite
method of voting early and often, the con
test is likely io be a most popular feature
and the treasurer of the carnival, who will
hinis. if in all probability be put forward
by his friends will reap large gobs of
boodh each day from tire different polling
places.
The polls will be opened at several of the
most accessible places in the city. In fact
they can be opened by anyone at any place
■where the tickets arc placed on sale.
'Die ■tickets will be non-forgeable and wil)
ire charged Io the proprietor of the store
or th.' place where the polling is going on
til tire rate of 5 cents each.
Tire ballot boxes will be In charge of a
commit lee w ho will see to it tiiat no ille
gal vol< e are cast- that is to say votes for
which the 5 cent fee has not been charged
ami paid.
The ladles of Macon are going to make
tiic most of their opportunity, and the men
uro no going to have it all their own way
In polities this time. In fact, it is evident
from lire talk that Is going the rounds that
St is the intention of the fair sex to assert
■themselves and woe to any wight who may
think to play any game of ward politics
with bis heelers in this election.
If any of that kind of thing is attempted
and any politician should bob up his head
he will bo snowed under so deep that his
head will never again be seen above the
avalanche.
Hui there will he plenty of candidates as
•then' is ample appreciation of the honor of
being elected king of Ihe carnival liy a pop
ular vole of lire people of Macon, and the
man who is < looted king of the carnival
"will, in all probability be the next mayor
of Macon or something else to that effect.
Tile advertising committee of the car
nival is now making its arrangements for
un active campaign. It will bo short, sharp
and decisive, and the committee says that
it is going to give tho newspapers of the
elate Hie advantage over all other forms
of advertising. The drummers, too, have
talked 'the matter up. and will be supplied
"with all kinds of advertising imaginable.
Tlie force of advertising men will go out
Into 'the state within tho next few days
end will flood every city, town, village and
li.imlet with announcements of the attrac
tions to lie seen in Macon during the course
of the Macon Diamond Jubilee Carnival.
Already there is indication that the sleep
ing capacity of the city will lie taxed to
the utmost and it is not at all improbable
that tho Wolff & Ilapp buildng and per
haps some others, will be called into re
quisition by the committee on Public
Comfort and will lie turned into temporary
lodging houses for the four days of the
carnival.
The secretary of the association, Mr.
Merrill Calloway yesterday received a let
ter from Governor Johnson, of Alabama,
promising to send a flag of Ms state to be
carried by the sponsor for Alabama on the
great parade on Floral day.
Each state will lie represented in the
Floral parade , and the young ladies will
each carry a flag provided for the occasion.
Some of the states, of course, will be
represented by proxy, but it is thought
that in the majority of eases the state will
be represented by a young lady from that
etate.
The carnival hall is now attracting the
utten-tion of social Macon, and will soon
be a matter of interest throughout the
state. Mr. Merrill Calalway. the chairman
of'that committee, will begin soon to issue
his invitations and to make his final ar
rangements. This ball will bo the biggest
thing by far that Macon has ever underta
ken. In fact, it will be one of the most
brilliant affairs that has ever been seen in
this state. It will be conducted on the
same lines as the carnival ball at New Or
leans and will be a most elaborate under
taking. The committee, however, say that
they feel equal to it and the ladies? of so
cial Macon are delighted with the oppor
tunity that this event will offer.
The building of the floats for the Peace
and War Parade goes rapidly on and Mr.
Pinkston’s workshop at the park begins to
assume the apearanee of a large naval dry
dock. 'He has a dozen of the great ships to
build and complete within the next six
■weeks. It is very evident that in this
feature there are surprises in store for the
people of the state. It will be little if any
thing short of the New Orleans parade on
u small scale, though the floats themselves
will be as fine and as wonderful. Certainly
It will give th<* people of the state who
have never had the good fortune to see a
wMardi Gras an opportunity to form some
idea of the magnificence of it all. Builder
Pinkston says that his reputation is at
stake in this matter and that he proposes
to give Macon something that her people
have never before dreamed of.

IN MEMORIAL
On the Life and Death of Mr. John T.
Pettey.
Mr. John F. Petty died at his residence
at No. ’3lB Ross street yesterday morning
at 3:15 o’clock after a lingering illness of
several weeks, although not confined to
his bed all the while. About four months
ago he had his first attack of paralysis,
from which he never fully recovered, but
was able to work on until July 2d, when
ho left the Georgia Southern and Florida
shops and came home to rest, expecting
to go out into the country on the 4th to
spend a week or ten days, but was stricken
with the fatal attack on the morning of
'the 4th just as he was getting ready to
leave.
The deceased had lived in Macon for
twenty-four years, having moved here
from the Warrior in 1873. and went to work
at the Central Railroad shops, at which
place he worked for some time, and then
for the old Macon and Brunswick railroad,
and has since worked for ■ the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railroad at different
times up until he was taken sick.
Mr .Petty was a good. Christian gentle
man. being one of the leading members of
the Primitive ißaptist church for several
years, and was one of the deacons at the
time of his death, being a man of good
traits and a noble character, his word was
his bond.
He leaves a devoted wife and three chil
dren to mourn his loss. The children are
Mr. S. 'D. Petty, Mrs. J. E. Moseley and
Mrs. M B. Carroll., and bis friends he
numbered by his acquaintances, for there
was none that knew him that could say
aught against him. He was a good hus
band and father. His religion was as he
lived. “Let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works and
glorify your father which is in heaven."
COTTON IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Condition of the Crop as Shown by the Hast
Report.
The crof report from South Cara, na for
the week endin' August 8, shows as fol
laws:
The temperature o'editions a; fvvorabi:
so- crop deralop’nent during the week, and
over the central belt of counties, from
the Georgia to the North Carolina borders,
sunshine and rainfall were also favorable
factors, but elsewhere there were many
and extensive areas where the rainfall w as
excessive and sunshine deficient, conditions
that had a deteriorating effect on the sta
ple crops, particularly cotton. Reports
from York, Spartanburg, Union. Abbeville,
Anderson. Richland and from Marlboro
and Marion counties, and Uss extended
areas in many other counties indicate that
the corn and cotton crops are very promis
ing. as are all the minor food and forage
crops, but these conditions are not uniform
over the state, and are not the prevailing
ones for corn, while cotton, peas,-
erally i na very grassy condition, however,
tag satisfactory growth and development
Crops are practically all layed by. but gen
certain light soils, where growth has stop
with numerous reports of clean, wall culti
vated fields.
In Abbeville a great deal of cotton bas
been practically abandoned on account of
grass. Cotton is turning yellow, or red, on
certain light soils, where growth has tsop
ped. and is scalding or firing in Pickens.
It was injured by rain in Newberry.
Bolls are opening slowly and are needing
dry weather and sunshine.
Sea island cotton is in splendid condition
and clean of grass and weeds; is blooming
extremely with some little fruitag", but
sunshine greatly needed.

ELEVEN EINE
FLOATS ALREADY
Orders Were Placed Today
for Seven Magnificent
Ones.
MACON' BUSINESS MEN
Will Spare No Expense to Make
Their Part of the Carnival Sur
pass Anything Ever Seen.
Th< work of iiuildihg floats for the great
Carnival Tradt s Display will begin at once.
The Macon Carnival Decorating and
Contracting Company closed contracts this
morning for ven of the finest floats that
will bt seen in ;h.’ procession; floats that
wiii equal, if not surpass any ever seen in
any trades carnival in this country.
Tli< MeCaw Manufacturing Company has
pl i Jan order for two magnificent floats.
The first is "The Triumph of King Cot
to:i the Downfall of King Hog,” a beauti
ful allegorical design, carrying out the idea
. of "PlantineV supremacy over hog lard
as a cooking product. King Cotton is
■ seated on his throne being served with
delicacies cooked with Plantine, while
I K ng Hog lies prone before the throne, his
i crown fallen from hia head and a bucket of
lard overturned at his feet. The MeCaw
■ Manufacturing Company’s second floa't
! carries out the idea of a log cabin wiith
; an old colored washerwoman at work at the
tab. her labors lightened by using “Magic
' Cleaner.” The float is divided in the oen
:■ r .:: 1 the rear represents a beautiful
; toilet room with a nurse girl preparing'the
! toilet of a beautiful child, the bath made
i more delightful and healthful by the use
i of Hygenic Tar Soap, a splendid toilet pre
: paration manufactured by this concern.
The A rue Brewing Company places an
; order for the "American Queen,” repre
’ sen'ted by Columbia, with her attendants,
I seated on a throne under a canopy of hop
; vines, while before her is a fountain de
. gne 1 after a bottle of American Queen
I Beer. The car is decorated with sheaves
i or barley and hop vines, and the coloring
! throughout is red, white and blue, with
; the American Queen label as the coat of
I arni.-.. The Brewery Company’s second
• float is “Fort \cme," a design peculiarly
I apropriate to war 'times and carrying out
I the idea of strength, as represented in the
. famous Acme Malt Tonic. Immense bot
j ties of Malt Tonic are mounted on 'the fort
ias guns, while the American Hag floats
i fiorn the center, and soldiers man each
The Empire Coal and Ice Company
pti.-i s .in order for a peculiarly unique and
aitractive float, representing a coal mine
in operation. Coal cars run into the mine
i and back to the coal schmte, hauling and
! dumping coal.
j A Al N. M. Block, wholesale liquor deal
i cis. have also placed an order for a fine
fl 'i, but ‘the design is not yet sufficiently
I completed to be described.
I H J. Lamar & Sons have also placed on
I order for a beautiful float, a description of
1 which cannot yet be made public.
| In addition to these the Macon Contract
! itrg and Decorating Company have qrflers
to build magnificent floats for the Dan-
■ berg Compafiy, the Empire Store, tho
i Fanners’ Supply Company and H. Horne,
j The company is also at work on beautiful
designs for other local concerns, and Man
ager Powers expects to close at least six
i mere contracts next week.
i The floats contracted for today represent
I an outlay of over SBOO, while the entire
' number contracted for up to date represent
i an outlay of $1,200, showing that the busi
| ness men of Macon are determined to
make their part of the carnival surpass
; any’iiing ever seen in the South.
M'any of these floats will equal any ever
, Ixii! in this country, the majority of them
: being of the allegorical order.

GRAND JURY
Meets on Monday’and iTakes Up Taylor
Matter.
The grand jury will meet Monday in or
der to clear up the mime >us casts wh ch
‘are now on hand. There are about thirty
ca-ies which are to be disposed of, and as
the men are all in jail the jury will finish
up wiith the cases las rapidly as possible.
All cf those con-flncd in jail are an ex
pense to the county and the, sooner they
soon as the jury is through the court will
will be on the county.
It will probably take the grand jury a
week to finish the cases now on 'hand. As
soon as te hjury is troug te ehourt will
open.
(Abner Taylor will be the first person put
on trial and it is expected it will take two
or three days to decide the case. It is
thought by many that it • will be a hard
matter 'to secure 'a jury for this ease, as
nearly every man in the county has ex
pressed an opinion about the case.

“WOMAN’S ROAD”
In California Has a Mrs, Gould on the Board
of Directors.
San Francisco, August 12—The issue of
one million bonds to run for forty years
at 6 per cent has been decided upon for the
building of the Stockton and Tuo Lumene
railrpad or “The Woman’s Road,” as it js
popularly known.
Mrs. Annie Kline Pikert is at the head
of the railroad. Associated with her as di
rectors are Mrs. Sally Green, Mrs. F. T.
Gould, Magie Downing Brainard and Han
nah Lane.
The road will be sixty miles long run
ning from Stockton to Summerville
WILL BEGIN PRACTICE.
Macon Library Football Team Will Get Down
to Work.
The Macon Library football team wrll
hold its first practice game Monday night
on High street. All men who wich to try
for places on the team are requested to be
'at the Academy for the Blind Monday
night at 8 o’clock.
The captain of the team will be elected
Monday night and the boys will begin
work at once.
The idea in starting to work so early is
to give Macon a good team. It is a well
known fact that Macon has never had a
good team and that the teams which, have
always represented .Macon on the gridiron
■have nevr praetieed.
The boys are determined to put a team
in the field which will win over any team
have never practiced.
Only’ light practices will be indulged in
for some time, as the weather is too het
but as the weather gets cooler the boys
go at it I ard. Everything now points to
a good team.
Lessons of Navy Fights.
The lessons to fee drawn from the Span
ish-American sea fights are not clear, sat
isfactory and conclusive. With the barely
possible exception of the sinking of the
I Merrimac, as suggested by Lieutenant
■ Hobson, tho torpedo has played no part in
| the naval engagements, and of ramming
i there has not been any. It was even so
i at Yalu and throughout the war between
China and Japan. But are we satisfied
that if the conditions favored the use of
torpedoes or rams by the Americans they
would not have fairly realized some of the
great expectations concerning one or both
| of these instruments of destruction?
"The torpedo boat destroyers founder
j ed,” said the brave Spanish Admiral Ger
i vera in his report to General Blanco. Yes,
I and the foundering was brought about by
| the good practice of the gunners of the
i Gloucester, a smart nrmeil yacht. Cer
vera s ships were faster than those of
Sampson, but they did not get away.
Thirteen inch guns can hurl many tons of
shot and shell into the enemy before the
advantage in speed of a few knots an hour
will avail for the emergency.
The effect of armament on armor Is not
■ yet accurately ascertained. Severn! points
: have, however, been made clear by the
I naval engagements—viz. (1) that modern
shells readily lire to the woodwork oi
warships, and that therefore wood must
! be avoided or made fireproof; (2) that
speed is relatively more important from
strategical than from fighting considera
tions; (3) that In fair fight superiority in
marksmanship and quick firing meftns
victory, and (4) that the Americans can
do that which they claim—"shoot straight
and obey orders.” —London Shipping
